From the minute the
rugged comedian takes to the stage he grabs control.
Within mere seconds there is not one doubt that we are in the hands of
a professional,
and such is his command of a room that we know we will be laughing
whether we want to or not.

Scraggy US comic Dave Fulton easily demolishes two misplaced national
stereotypes: that Americans have no sense of irony, and that they’re
all a bunch of right-wing gung-ho warmongers. He’s laid-back,
but it conceals a steely aggression; he’s no-nonsense and down-to-earth,
but impressively well-read; he’s relaxed but arrogant. Don’t
go looking for clear-cut gags, for example, but instead enjoy the company
of an innately funny guy who is a master at rock-climbing and an ace motorbike
mender.

(The first in a long line of comedians to straddle the peugot). This Paris show will be a preview of his forthcoming west-end run at the Soho Theatre.

Absinthe makes the laughs last longer

This is the man who has done more for
Absinthe than Jimi Hendrix did for lighter fuel. He made history last year
when he reintroduced the wee green devil back into the HdN after eighty
odd years of absence and abstinence. Anyone who saw the after-math- effects
the potent liquid had on Tom Rhodes back in July will have good reason to
stay away from the front row. So expect two nights of no nonsense, authentic
observations from this Seattle based comedian who pulls no punches and is
in my opinion still one the best pillion passengers on the planet. One of
the most dynamic and innovative performers on the comedy circuit he socked
it to them in Edinburgh in 1999 and is currently making surf-sized waves
in the UK.
A comic giant with unmanageable hair, a nose as sharp as his wit he does
in fact *hold the record for the number of times he's done shows (four in
all) here, even if he only equals Ross for the number of nights played.

of the Hotel du Nord

When Dave stopped off in Paris last May
for just the one night he reduced us to tears with his bright and brittle
humour. Well now we know what he looks like we can put a face to the dude
in black. This is the man who not only helped reintroduce absinthe to Paris
but is also the coolest pillion passenger I've ever had on the back of my
saddle.

Two nights of no nonsense, authentic observations
from the funniest thing from Seattle since José Bové went
global.

One of the most dynamic and innovative
performers on the comedy circuit.

Dear Karel, Thank for the wonderful
Dave Fulton's show yesterday. You've did a miracle to gather together
this audience in so short time!

Hi , Karel.It turned out to be a really successful fun evening , didn't
it? We're glad we went.You certainly have a HUGE crowd of people on your
e-mail list!!If they all write to you after this last show, your PC might
get jammed! Dave Fulton has a very attractive personality , relaxed, &
most entertaining .We liked his style ; not heavy or corny or agressive.
It must be the most difficult of all theatrical arts , being funny & talking
non-stop for 2-3 hours like that , AND holding the audience's attention
.In fact, I lost track as to how long his show did last. He must have
had quite a gruelling tour & to boot, a show during his time off .He
obviously doesn't know us or anyone from Adam , but please say a big thankyou
to him for us , if he's still with you & that we were really uplifted
, needing ,a light break!I'll tell my brother in Houston to go & see him
if he ever has the opportunity.
